One shocked local resident said she saw a man 'charging past with a gun' and that when police chased after him she decided to stay inside. 

She said: 'I heard a massive bang, then people were saying he was shot and taken to hospital.'

Police and forensics teams are today investigating at the scene of a shooting in Wimbledon, south-west London 

Another witness, who did not want to be named, told GetWestLondon that they heard a loud 'bang' at around 8.10am and saw a man, who they 'weren't sure was undercover police or not' wearing red and running with a 'pistol.'

They added that almost immediately after two undercover cars 'put on their sirens and pulled a U turn back up Haydons Road.'

He claimed all the people involved in the apparent chase then went up North Road. 

The local resident added that he later saw one of the 'undercover officers' who was  'holding the large gun' coming back down the road to 'collect his police cap that he was not wearing.'

A woman who works inside the cordon on Haydons Road said she heard gunshots outside just after getting to work.

She said: 'We were told to stay inside at about 8.15 this morning.

'A lot of police turned up, there were vans everywhere and a lot of unmarked cars, with sirens blaring outside.

'I believe somebody was shot, it was a very distinctive sound - and then a team of armed police came running by the window.' 

The concerned mother of a young girl who reportedly witnessed the incident said her daughter heard three gun shots.  

The man, whose age is not yet known, was shot in Lacock Close, Wimbledon, and a second man has been arrested for conspiracy to rob.

The operation was being conducted by officers from the Met's anti-robbery Flying Squad and they were assisted by firearms colleagues.  

The man has been taken to a London hospital and his condition is not known. 

One resident told the local news website: 'Most of the action appeared to be down Lacock Close. Lots of undercover police cars and lots of police with guns around.

'Someone was put into an ambulance with a large bandage wrapped around their arm. Heard police radioing for ambulance, saying that someone had been shot.'    

A number of roads in the area, including Haydons Road, have been closed and a forensic scene is in place.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct has launched an independent investigation and the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards have also been informed.

The Flying Squad's main focus is robbery, and it is known for staging dramatic takedowns of armed robbers as they try to flee the scene of a crime.

The Metropolitan Police would not comment on reports that Monday's shooting took place after a police raid on a house.

It is rare for armed police to actually fire their guns during operations.

In the year to March 2018, there were 12 incidents in which police firearms were discharged out of 18,746 police firearms operations.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
